Chapter 84 The rules of apprenticeship in the entertainment industry and the simple and easy-to-understand way to deal with it

() (There are no missing chapters, the title of 'Chapter 82' was posted once before.) )

Since there had been communication before, and Mike Mohamie's game production team had helped Cole Nedham write the runtime script and make the content known as Newsgroup Movie Database official, there was not much of a barrier to communication

Describing the story of his childhood in straightforward words, Mohami showed his initial desire for cinema, and after describing Spielberg as "the initiator of his hobbies and interests", everything was solved.

Cole Niederham clearly wants to know whether his friend in California knows Roland Allen, and if he has a good relationship, he hopes to meet him in the right situation.

Cole Niederham wants to meet Roland Allen?

In his slightly older but spacious office, Mike Mohami scratched his nose as he finished reading the email.

Holding the coffee, he subconsciously took a sip, then raised his hand and scratched his head like a chicken nest.

He felt that he might have been in retreat for too long, a little isolated.

How did Cole Niederham know that Roland Allen and Steven Spielberg were on good terms?

In his memory, Roland Allen's relationship with the Jewish gang never seemed to be made public!

Previously, when Roland won the project of "Terminator 2" with Spielberg, he took Roland to participate in the audition of "Captain Hook" in the past, and he thought that these people would tell the world and make the relationship public.

After all, admitting students is a big deal!

If it is announced in advance, it will obviously be an excellent boost to the box office of "Home Alone".

However, after he understood, he understood that the acceptance of apprentices in the entertainment industry is two concepts.

Only those who are not high or low can expect the master to be able to do a special job.

Like what kind of female star in front of the public, she bowed to the strange flower that bloomed on the underworld, holding fragrant tea; Like what kind of celebrity host apprentices learn from old Jianghu cross talk actors......

The former is looking for a backer when he has an unhappy quarrel with his husband, and the latter is looking for resources when he is about to get lost.

The reason why these guys want to publicize their apprenticeship is nothing more than to get news, eyeballs, and attention.

But for the real boss, taking students is such a thing, as long as his own people know about it, there is no need to spread it nonsense.

It's like the guy who graduated from French literature and roared when he saw injustice.

This guy is really a teacher.

What's more, if the big guy takes in apprentices, if it is publicized, it will not be good.

First, appearing with the aura of a certain student is bound to give people a high expectation; Second, if you hit the street with a halo, it will definitely be a great blow to the student's career, and it will not look good on the teacher's face.

Therefore, if the Jews have more people like this, they will definitely not make it public.

Under this unspoken rule, whether the people who eat melons in the outside world know about this matter depends on spirituality.

As for the insiders......

No one in the circle knows that there are more people under the big guy, just this kind of source, you are still a fart circle!

Fade your skirt early!

Because of this, after seeing the straightforward email, Mike Mohamie, who has a certain understanding of Hollywood and has worked overtime for a month, is a little confused, he doesn't know why Cole Nedham heard these news?

But it doesn't matter if you don't know!

He can look it up!

When Mohami appeared on the movie page of the newsgroup with doubts and found the revelations section posted by Jon, Mohami, who browsed the article, realized that there was an 'internal mole' in the crew of "Captain Hook" who did not abide by the confidentiality contract.

"If this kind of person is caught, I'm afraid he will be kicked out of the circle directly, right?"

"That's not right...... The contract liquidated damages alone can make her pay to death! ”

With a casual sigh, Mohami, who had already figured out the situation, directly used administrator privileges to find Jon's address, and after determining the exact coordinates of this guy, he easily cleared the content of the section that had been cold.

As Roland's own person, Mohami felt that it was no big deal to help Roland hide information.

Besides, the reason why he helped Cole Nidhan when he had nothing to do in the first place was because he wanted to get permission!

In the case of Roland's rise all the way, what kind of problem is he going to encounter, and he begs for help in vain, it can't be reasonable, right?

And if you can help him watch a little bit in the field that Roland can't reach, wouldn't it be better for friends to help each other?

Besides, Roland was already very interested in the concept of the Internet of Everything!

Isn't doing what you like the most effective way to maintain a relationship?

Of course, although the source has been deleted directly by Mohami, for him, the founder of the film database, Cole Nidhan, is the most difficult guy to deal with, and he really doesn't know how to respond to such an honest questioner!

However, after hearing his doubts, Alan Adhan, who yawned and ate hot dogs on the sidelines, shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and he felt that Mike Mohami had imagined things a little too complicated.

"Oh, Mike, what are you still struggling with here?"

"At the beginning, we came into contact with him directly under the banner of Roland."

"He knows about your relationship with Roland, and now he just wants to verify whether the news just now is true."

"In that case, you might as well ask Roland what he thinks, and if he agrees, do Cole a favor."

"If Roland doesn't agree, you're telling Cole that the message just now is fake."

"What's more, when you called Roland to congratulate him on the big movie hit, he took the initiative to ask you, are we and Cole short of money, since he is interested in our game business and the database, then maybe we can meet?"

At the same time as Alan Adhan's voice fell, Frank Pierce, who had already warmed the pizza, also agreed: "Yes. ”

"If you don't think it's easy to talk on the phone, then run the crew tomorrow morning."

"Didn't you say that before? Roland told you that if you have any difficulties, go directly to him. ”

"By the way, if you're in the past, you'd better bring the games we've developed with you."

"We don't expect him to help us spread the word, but ...... What if ......?"

In the future, the three giants of Blizzard Entertainment are now all young people who have graduated for one year.

For Alan Adhan and Frank Pearce, Mike Mohamie, a shit luck guy, has found a mountain of gold for his company!

Although Roland may not be able to give them some help in game development, in this industry, money is enough!

If Roland throws them a dozen or two hundred thousand, it will be enough for them to develop four or five games!

With such a good backer in his hands, isn't it a brain disease if he doesn't maintain it well?

And under the singing and harmony of the two companions, Mohami felt

Seems to be the truth, huh?

Since he knew that something had happened in "Captain Hook", maybe it would be better for him to go and tell him personally?

In this way, at the instigation of his companions, Mohami did not bother anymore.

Early the next morning, I threw the Super Nintendo, which I was using to test the game, into the car.

When he left, he didn't forget to bring the copy of the game cartridge with him.

…………

And when Mohami drove to Sony Studios and got into the studio with the help of the staff, the first thing he saw was Roland squeezing Spielberg away and watching the shooting in front of the monitor.

No way, who made the huge machine and the small body too conspicuous?

When all eyes were on him, Mohami couldn't pretend to be blind.

Because Roland was busy, Mohami didn't think about bothering him, and while he was waiting to watch, everything on the set made him sigh.

With Spielberg's approval, Roland, who uses the role of a child group to practice, naturally has no scruples: the clean and neat orders are like a rope, just right to guide those little actors to all directions, and the action emotions of self-expression are like a picture scroll, so that those young actors who can't understand it in time can see with their own eyes what kind of picture Roland needs, and the words that disassemble the professional terms are like a bridge, so that the young actors, lighting, and photography can know how the whole shot will be presented.

'How fast you learned?' ’

I haven't seen it for half a year, and the gap is naturally recognizable at a glance.

At the beginning of last year, when Mohami took Roland to film in the crew of "Home Alone", Roland would ask everything.

After many years, he came into contact with the industry again, hoping to get a perfect answer to a question from those professionals.

And now?

Maybe it's because of the successful works that he seems to be a lot more confident.

Of course, these are just Mohami's personal thoughts.

For him, it is too difficult to understand filming.

He just thinks that Roland's movements and momentum are really the same thing, as for the rest......

Then he will not be able to evaluate it.

However, even if it is not clear what Roland is like, the first sentence when meeting Roland is still full of admiration, "It's really impressive!" It's only the third movie, and you're ready to change careers? ”

"Hey! What is the change of career and not the change of career? Anyway, I have a lot of time now, so I can learn whatever I encounter......"

When Roland handed the guide back to Spielberg and finished today's shooting assignment, the staff stepped forward and told him the news that Mohami had been waiting for a long time.

And after learning that the ticket skipping king in the future actually came to find him for the first time, Roland, who was still immersed in the joy of learning, immediately reacted, "You shouldn't have come to invite me to dinner, right?" ”

"I remember when you called me before, you promised me that you would give me a meal in Orange County."

Listening to Roland's playful words, Mohami nodded even down the donkey, "Of course, I'm here to eat." ”

"However, this time you should have invited me."

Although he waited on the set for a while, Mohami did not mean to be in a hurry.

After throwing a questioning word at Roland, his gaze began to wander.

With such a hint, how could Roland not understand?

Isn't Mohami telling him that this is not a place to talk?

Raising his elbow with a smile, he took the lead and pulled him into his lounge after smacking Mohami on his waist, "Tell me, is there something wrong?" If it wasn't for any trouble, you would have called me. ”

In Roland's opinion, if it weren't for the difficulties, Mohami wouldn't have had to come to the crew at all.

And the thing that can get him from Irvine is probably very big for Mohami.

However, just as Roland was estimating how much money Mohami needed, a set of numbers that came into sight made him raise his eyebrows, and if it weren't for the decimal point to distinguish it, Roland would even suspect that the other party was joking with him.

"It's ......," Roland took the note.

"IP address." Although Mohami's face was still full of smiles, his voice sank.

"Someone in your crew violated the terms of confidentiality and broke the news about the relationship between you and Spielberg in the online community."

Knowing how well Roland knew about computers and the Internet, Mohami explained it very easily.

At first, when Roland learned that some crew members were talking nonsense on the Internet, his mood was actually a little low; But when he learned that the other party only broke the news about his learning results in the crew, and was not induced by Cole Niederhan to give the corresponding real hammer, he was relieved; And when he heard that Cole Niedhand, who knew about the matter, wanted to meet Spielberg by getting to know him, Roland's face was smiling after the rain.

The founder of IB was sent to the door like this?

It's much easier than going to him yourself!

As long as you meet him and help him fulfill his wish, can this website still have Amazon's share?

The collection of information started because of Spielberg, and it is the best choice to finally return to the hands of the Jewish gang!

Yes, for Roland, the news being exposed is not as important as Cole Niedhan wanting to see him.

Since this young man is also a disciple of Spielberg, then everyone is their own people!

However, Roland's willingness to meet with him does not mean that Spielberg is also willing to meet with him.

As a result, Roland, who didn't know how to deal with the leak, asked Mohami to stay here and not to move, while he went to the West Heaven and invited the Buddha to go.

And after Spielberg listened to Mohami's story, this guy, who has debuted for twenty-three years and has seen ups and downs, naturally took the note handed by Mohami.

"Are you sure this guy named Jon only posted about me and Roland in that newsgroup?"

"Yes, I've checked all of this guy's speeches, and I've deleted the topics related to you."

Mohami nodded in affirmation.

Although this was the first time he had communicated with Spielberg, he didn't feel any pressure to have Roland as his own.

"Okay, thank you, I'll take care of this matter, you don't have to worry about it." Spielberg smiled, and as he spoke, his gaze under the lenses also flowed, scraping lightly on Roland and Mohami's bodies.

For him, teaching Roland is a long-term investment, and he didn't think that he could cash it out immediately, but now this one is a little surprising to him.

In that field that the traditional public does not know, Roland actually has friends?

And, listen to them, the guy who collects all kinds of movie materials and uploads and shares them is a big fan of himself?

Interesting......

After two seconds of silence, Spielberg continued: "As for the Kohl-Nedham ...... you are talking about"

"If he's in Los Angeles and I happen to be there, I can meet him."

Perfect

When the affirmative answer came, Roland almost clenched his fists and high-fived.

If it is said that learning skills from famous mentors is Roland's main goal, then Cole Niederham is a subsidiary bonus.

Merely......

That's a big bonus, right?

But it didn't matter, Roland didn't mind at all.

Not only that, but he also hopes that the treasures that have appeared because of the Jewish gang can be a little more!

Now Roland, in fact, regrets a little, he knew that it was so easy to pick up treasures, he would not have been entangled in front of the computer for a long time, trying to write out everything in his head.

Isn't it fragrant to be a garbage guy?

However, just when Roland was happy that his circle of relationships had expanded to another level, Spielberg on the side became interested in the young man Mohami.

After all, these days, there are not many guys who can take the initiative to wipe someone's butt for the sake of friendship......

Sooner or later, the relationship between the Jews and Roland would be made public, Spielberg felt that it was not now.

What's more, Jon only broke the news about their relationship this time, and if one day, the situation of the crew is sold to the media, it will be them who will lose, and with someone to help watch, the situation will be much better......

"You're, Roland's friend? I remember you were his tutor before, right? ”

"Yes, Director."

"I've read Roland's information before, if I'm not mistaken, you seem to be from UCLA?"

"Yes, director, I graduated from the Department of Electronic Engineering."

"Electrical Engineering? So where do you work now? Interested in computer VFX? If you're interested, I can introduce you to ILM, and of course, if you like to engage in development, Microsoft, Oracle, IB... That's all for you. ”

In Spielberg's opinion, the guy who can personally report the news during working hours probably doesn't have a proper job.

Since I reported a letter, it is not a big deal to recommend it to him.

ILM is now working on digital synthesis and doing business with major high-tech companies, and wherever Mohami wants to go, he asks Lucas to make a phone call and solve all the problems.

And this kind of behavior can be regarded as returning the favor of the report first.

However, just as he pondered whether Mohami would agree or refuse, the guy sitting in front of him rubbed his hands a little excitedly, stood up very embarrassed, and picked up the box on the sofa.

"Director, I run my own company."

"The name of the company is Silicon & Neural Bonds."

"Our operational project is game development, and we only received a development project from Nintendo at the beginning of this year to develop a racing game."

"I brought both the machine and the copy, Roland likes to play games, and this one is for him to try."

"I understand your kindness, but I probably don't need a new job right now......"

When he heard the phrase 'start his own company', Roland, who was silent and happy, didn't feel anything wrong, not only that, but in his sight, Spielberg, who wanted to return the favor, also smiled and nodded, appreciating the entrepreneurial spirit of young people, but

When Mohami mentioned 'game development' and 'Nintendo', Roland, who was sitting on the side and didn't think about interjecting, suddenly felt that something was wrong, and at the same time, the smile on Spielberg's face was also declining

And when Mohami took out the Super Nintendo game console and copy cartridge from the box in order to prove that what he said was true, Roland, who realized it later, immediately reacted, he first glanced at the game console in front of him, and found nothing abnormal, and then looked up at Spielberg, and the other party's face had been pulled down......

Hold the grass!

Mohami, are you turtle grandson actually pit grandpa?

When Roland saw the Super Nintendo's game console and Spielberg's expressionless face, he just wanted to fly up and kick Mohami to death, so as to draw a line with the other party!

Mention Nintendo in front of Spielberg, isn't that the old birthday star hanging himself, looking for death?

You just say you're making games! Why mention Nintendo!

Don't you know that America's video game industry was killed by Spielberg?

If it weren't for his greed for money, Nintendo's home game console would never have been sold in America in his life!

And this has to be traced back to 1972.
